Abstract: A cleaning apparatus (9) for cleaning a peripheral part of a substrate holds a peripheral part of a substrate (1) between the elastic porous member (29) of an upper cleaning roller (16) and an elastic porous member (30) of a lower cleaning roller (17). The power of a drive motor (13) is transmitted through a drive pulley (18), a belt (26) and a driven pulley (24) to a rotating shaft (17a) to rotate the lower cleaning roller (17), and is transmitted through a drive pulley (22), a belt (25) and a driven pulley (23) to a rotating shaft (16a) to rotate the upper cleaning roller (16) in a direction opposite the direction in which the lower cleaning roller (17) is rotated. A cleaning liquid is supplied through cleaning liquid supply nozzles (31) and cleaning liquid supply pipes (31a) into core members (27, 28). Then the cleaning liquid flows through connecting holes (35) formed in the circumferential walls of the core members (27, 28) and permeates the elastic porous members (29, 30).

Abstract: A relatively large-sized square substrate for use in the production of a color filter for liquid crystal display, a color image sensor or the like is applied with a coating film of a viscous liquid such as a photosensitive resin. For producing the coating film, the substrate is placed with its surface extending horizontally and the viscous liquid is dropped on the surface in a line along an edge portion of the surface. Then, a squeezee rod is moved along the surface with a predetermined gap maintained between the squeezee rod and the surface, to spread the viscous liquid over at least a part of the surface, whereby a predetermined thickness of the spread viscous liquid is obtained. Thereafter, the substrate is spinned in the plane of the surface thereof to disperse the spread viscous liquid uniformly by centrifugal force over the entire surface of the substrate, whereby a thin coating of the liquid of a uniform thickness is formed on the surface of the substrate.
